"there is no longer an outside"

every place inclosed, or exposed has its own microclimate. philosopher Peter
Sloterdijk says "there is no longer an outside." as we travel through the world, from place to place, everything has been touched, at the least with the physical affects of other spaces, at the lesser with the affects of our minds. the world is of microclimates. climates, micro and larger, are a transmission- a feedback- of collective conditions of all things within its environment.

'climate': klima: greek word slope, zone
slope: a rise or falling surface
zone: an area or stretch of land having a particular characteristic
surface: the outside or uppermost layer of something
stretch:to be made or to be capable of being made longer or wider without tearing or breaking
layer: a sheet, quantity or thickness of material, covering a surface or body
tearing: to pull or rip apart to pieces with force.
thickness: the distance between opposite sides of something.

force: strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement
distance: an amount of space between two things or people.

climate is a function of force and distance.
(force and distance) is a function of the movement of things or people.

in physics:
Force X Distance = Work (work is the mesure of energy expended in applying a force to move an object.)

also,

Force X (Distance/Time) = Power
